Do the hard work to find GREAT deals and use that money only sparingly as absolutely needed (for downpayments, etc).

I've been very active with commercial lenders from my local banks but almost all of them have tightened to a halt or I've reached my limit with them at the moment so I'm having to use them sparingly.

If you've got some good tenants to spare, please send us a few!

I can change locks without a screwdriver and carry spares in my truck.

Purchase two single family properties, live in one and perhaps rent out spare rooms to offset your costs.

You can be a very effective wholesaler if you just want to work in your spare time around your work schedule, but it will take a larger time committment than just driving around and finding prospective houses.

I don't have any skin to spare at the moment.

Use the money you have now [i]very[/] sparingly--definitely not for deals.

That be awesome if you could spare some time to get coffee.

However; I also plan on selling houses in my spare time for extra income.
